Stripes are in this year.
They were in during the 1930s too.
I haven’t seen low income housing for such a long time. New York City Public Housing maybe defunct in a couple of years. Where is the demand. What housing does the city have to security guards, home health aides, maintenance people, and people just coming out of colleges and universities, elderly. Where is the housing? This building looks like crappy from the outside. Even a hospital looks better than this for the types of income they are looking at. If I had that income I wouldn’t even look at this building.
Hooray for 80% AMI. But 5 units is only 20% of the building.
The other 20 units are just run-of-the-mill unaffordable housing.
